 | Just saw 'end of watch' on Netflix - siliconvalleytiger on 6/16/13 at 1:55 am
Thought it was a pretty good cop movie. Not a huge Gylenhall fan but he did a good job and they captured the LA gang scene pretty well. Also thought it was pretty funny. ...

| OSU fan gave us major props - siliconvalleytiger on 6/14/13 at 10:05 pm
New guy at work turned out to be a big Ohio St fan. Got his MBA there. Anyhow, was acting pretty high and mighty about being an OSU fan until I told him I went to LSU at which point he got a bit sheepish. Gave us a lot of props, not just for the beating in 08 but for being an 'elite' program. Said w...

| What is the most interchangeable position in football now? - siliconvalleytiger on 6/9/13 at 11:20 am
I'd say it's running back both in college and the pros. Provided you have talented backs, you can play them interchangeably. There's always the reliance factor on certain backs like AP and Gore but for the most part, you could start the backups with no significant drop off.
The hardest remain QB...

| Is optimism for 2013 football = delusional homerism? - siliconvalleytiger on 5/19/13 at 12:12 pm
The losses on defense plus the complete breakdown of the defense in the last 4 games should be cause for concern. But then I think about all the freshmen that had playing time and the seniors/juniors who basically checked out and mailed it in after the Bama loss. And I can't decide where we really s...

| Sons of Anarchy - unhealthy obsession - siliconvalleytiger on 5/19/13 at 11:44 am
Started it last month. Almost through season 4 and I realize that I have an unhealthy obsession with the show. Great show. I tell myself I really don't want to watch it and yet sit through hours of it. Where does the MTB stand on it?
Also, where can I catch season 5?

Here's a hypothetical scenario with 4 former QBs - Jamarcus, Mauck, Davey and Flynn.
You are at home playing an elite SEC team like Bama or Florida. You have 6 mins left on the clock, have the ball at your own 30 and a 10 point deficit. Who would you rather have at QB? Assume a great defense like...

| Best acting job on GOT - siliconvalleytiger on 4/27/13 at 3:03 pm
I think Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson) does the best acting job. A combination of clueless, gullible and pure evil. His range takes him anywhere from annoying to plain scary.
The imp is a close second for me. ...
